In some embodiments, an apparatus for communication in a wireless network includes a radio frequency (RF) circuitry. The RF circuitry includes one or more transceivers and a signal booster. The signal booster is coupled to the one or more transceivers to provide boosted high frequency signal to the transceivers based on a local oscillator signal received via a transmission line. The signal booster includes an amplifier including a pair of transistors cross-coupled each other in cascode. This configuration results in a reduced impedance of the signal booster, thus provides an improved Q value for the high frequency signal provided to the transceivers, without incurring additional power consumption as in existing systems. The signal booster can be implemented in any access point or client device in a wireless communication network such as IEEE 802.11.
